Requirements of the hosting spaces for Mitch's workshops
Mitch will have all of the kits with him. There is no need for anyone to purchase kits from Mitch in advance.
Each space will need to provide the following to have a successful workshop:
- For each participant:
- 1 soldering iron, 15W to 40W
- 1 soldering iron stand
- 1 cellulose (not plastic) sponge (for cleaning the soldering iron tip)
- 1 small wire cutter (similar to 10cm wire cutters)
- 1 or 2 AC outlets (with extension cords and/or AC power strips to make things work)
- 1 chair
- table space
- enough lighting so that people can see small things while soldering
- Each space will also need to have:
- 1 roll of good, thin, 60/40 (Sn/Pb), rosin core solder (similar to 0.81mm diameter solder with lead)
- 1 hot glue gun
- hot glue sticks that fit in the hot glue gun
- 1 small needle nose pliers (similar to 10cm needle nose pliers)
- tip tinner (similar to this)
- 1 wire strippers (similar to adjustable wire stipper)
- 1 solder sucker (similar to this)
- 1 roll solder wick (similar to 2mm wide)
- 1 paper scissors
- a pile of alkaline AA batteries
All of the above are good to have at your space so that you can continue to have soldering workshops long into the future.
- For the Arduino For Total Newbies workshop, I also need:
- Projector
- Microphone and amplifier will be helpful
- Internet (wireless or wired) is helpful
